Mission Statement of the Colorado Collections Investigator Program Issued by the Office of the State Court Administrator on November 9, 2001.

The Collections Office is responsible to administer, enforce, and collect all restitution, fines and costs ordered by the Court by implementing assertive collection techniques with professionalism and integrity.

The expectation of the Collections Investigator Program is to increase the overall compliance of payment orders assessed by the courts by:

1. Collecting the maximum dollar amount toward assessments on the date of sentencing
2. Minimize the collection period for court receivables
3. Maximize the use of the Voluntary Payroll Deduction and Attachment of Earnings
4. Minimize or eliminate collection matters taking court time
5. Provide for thorough financial analysis and fair treatment of defendants
6. Assist victims in understanding the collection process and collecting the maximum dollar amount of restitution whenever and however possible.

The Collections Investigator is responsible to interview all defendants not paying in full on the date of sentencing from County and District Court, setting up payment plans whenever necessary that are reasonable and fair both to the courts and the defendant, and assure to the best of their ability full payment of all court-ordered assessed fines, fees, costs and restitution.
